Well, I finally found out about LiveUSB making. I found out from live.pirillo.com. Link is Here. It does wipe out your USB when doing so. But I have not yet read it all. But now I have to plan on getting another USB or (maybe) SD card for it. So, that's what. |

it might be mentioned in your bios? to say it a bit clearer the motherboard brand and type is what you need..
unless infects means a sledgehammer or a 40 ton truck it will not affect linux.
(alays be carefull tough when installing any servers etc...) a firewall is not even needed

Yeah, I will have to see about that. How do I the motherboard brand and type? Do I take of the cover of the tower to see it or is it on a manual or in the System properties?
